God Bless America Touring Quilts
By Judy Howard and Nationwide Quilt Artists “Like a mother's loving arms, this quilt is our hug for our hero—a gift of thanks for protecting America. It expresses our gratitude, love, respect, and honor to forever hold and comfort you.” This is the greeting sewn on the back of the quilt that Staff Sergeant Logan Ballew received upon arriving at the Bethesda Military Hospital in August of 2006. While disarming a roadside bomb in Iraq, Logan received the impact of the exploding bomb. The local military hospital personnel waited to notify Logan’s parents for three days, not knowing whether they would be sending the boy back home in a body bag or to a hospital.
Logan’s
mother, Joan Ballew from Edmond, Oklahoma, entered a portrait quilt
of her son, incorporating his uniform with buttons and zippers, in
Buckboard Quilts’ God Bless America touring quilt exhibit, Thanking
Our Troops. “How do I love America—let me quilt the ways” is the
theme of these 200 twenty-two-inch and larger patriotic quilts that
are blanketing America for four years with “Hugs for our Heroes.”
